"No matter how you look at this case, a young man has died and that is always a tragedy. And that is at the forefront of our minds as we proceed down this road," said attorney Robert Rubin. "Our hearts go out to the Arbery family."

Rubin admitted they know how high the emotions are running in this case and they realize the nation is watching but they said all of the facts in the case are not known. However, they did say their client is not guilty of murdering Arbery.

"Because usually, you have a district attorney's office and an investigating agency, who is doing the investigation and producing the evidence to hand over to us, in this case, the entire nation is investigating and so we are learning with the rest of the country what is going on,” said attorney Jason Sheffield.

The attorneys dodged questions about their client being a vigilante or rushing to judgment and concluding Ahmaud was a criminal. They say all of the facts will come out in due time.

"We will be presenting our evidence in a court of law whether it is in Glynn County or somewhere else, the government will have an opportunity to present its evidence in a court of law, and then, and only then, then you can judge," said Sheffield.

The attorneys said they will be asking for a bond hearing, but because of the coronavirus pandemic, they are not sure when or where that will take place.

They also said they will be working with the attorneys for Gregory McMichael.
